What is a tempting idea for continuing Halo Jones is that Moore outlined the whole tale to Neil Gaiman, not that Gaiman would return to the prog, but Moore’s daughter Leah is currently a regular contributer to 200AD.
What we don’t want is what DC did with Watchmen where after not touching it for about 20 years and realising that he’ll never work for them again, they don’t have to placate him and did spin-offs and Superman crossovers . . .
Interesting. TBH at this point I think the best option is still to leave things alone. I’d love more Halo Jones type stories, but I’m not sure about actual Halo Jones, you know?
